Earth burns.
Earth's surface is no longer inhabitable. A meteor named Vulcan's hammer ensured that. Before it impacted, however, a group of people escaped on a colony ship to a new world.

After a long search, with almost zero remaining supplies and fuel, the colony ship's computer was forced to awake the captain of the ship from cryogenic suspension and ask him to choose a destination.
The planet they chose was marginally habitable. 255 Celsius in day light, -58 Celsius at night. A thin C02 atmosphere, and the planet was surrounded by a debris cloud from a meteor impacting it's moon, dooming the planet to bombardment for years.

The only saving grace was that the planet had an active magnet field and was resource rich. It was all they had.
The captain made the decision to land.
Now, you play a pivotal roll in the establishment of the colony. You are the first to land. You will make the decisions that bring the human race survival...or damn it all to hell.

Choose wisely.

As the prologue states, this RP is about the last of Humanity escaping from a now dead Earth to a minimally habitable world. I'm looking for five or so players to make up the council that will guide the colony's development, with each decision having consequences.
